3:00 pm
Barry Andrews (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)
Amendment No. 61 is not required as the Guardianship of Infants Act 1964 puts the welfare of the child as paramount. It is already understood when making any order under that Act that the child's welfare will be paramount.
Regarding amendment No. 62, the reference to the 1964 Act includes amending legislation to it.
